    I think the lack of responses to your posts is because most of the time they're hugely out of context and lack any sort of substance what-so-ever and are usual just vague interjections about constructionism in some attempt to boil everything down to a level of abstractism and ultimately conclude that people like/don't like something due to their own tastes which are shaped by a number of compounding factors.

    To quote an old adage: "No trout Sherlock."

    However,

    The very nature of an opinion based discussion forum is that people will have opinions. Sometimes they will be completely rational, sometimes they will be highly irrational, most of the time one opinion will differ from another.

    Just searching your most recent posts a lot of them are making implications about the constructs behind an opinion which a) most people are already fully aware of and b) provide no anchor for discussion to stem from. This is a discussion board where most threads and conversations are going to be off the cuff opinions and reactions not long, lengthy, impartial essays that pay particular heed to the socio-economic contexts that are acting as external influencers - which ultimately are very unlikely to sway a persons opinion in either direction if their mind is already made up.

    Some people get fulfillment in ranking things in casual banter others - like yourself - evidently don't. But to proposit that the former is less worthwhile than the latter (as most of your posts do when you talk of such practices being "incriminatory") and the making the assumption that you are correct when people don't respond to you - as Tifa's Boobs pointed out - is not exactly impartial either, is it?

    You seem very good at understanding the meta level influencers of a discussion but not so much at understanding the base level of a discussion itself which at the best of times makes your points very abstruse.

    Of course the blissful irony of all of this is this is just my opinion too - so take it or leave it, as you will.
